How to Make Garlic Bread Cheesy Pizza Dip:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Combine the butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.

Cut each dinner roll into four equal parts rolling each piece into a ball.

Dip the dough ball into the butter mixture.

Place the dough ball along the outer edge of a 10-inch cast iron skillet, leaving the center open.

Stack the remaining dough balls on top of the bottom layer.

Cover and allow the dough to rise until almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

While the dough is rising, mix the cream cheese, 1 cup mozzarella , mayonnaise, Italian seasoning and remaining garlic powder.

When the rolls have risen, layer the center of the skillet with the cheese mixture, pizza sauce, and shredded mozzarella. Top with pepperoni.

Brush the rolls with remaining seasoned butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown. If the rolls begin to get too brown, you may tent with aluminum foil.

Optional: Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
